In his debut #AskSachin Q&A session on Twitter, legendary Indian cricketer, Sachin Tendulkar revealed the message he shared with Virat Kohli during the ICC World Cup 2011 final. Notably, while chasing 275 runs at the Wankhede Stadium against Sri Lanka, India lost a couple of quick wickets to Virender Sehwag and Tendulkar. Meanwhile, while walking back to the pavilion, the ‘Master Blaster’ was spotted sharing something with Kohli which he eventually revealed on April 21, 2023 – 12 years after the incident.
Sachin Tendulkar on his Twitter handle stated that he informed Kohli that the ball was still swinging and he should play accordingly. Notably, batting at number four, the cricketer scored 35 runs off 49 deliveries and even though he failed to capitalize on his start, Virat laid the foundation for a historic win in favor of the MS Dhoni-led side.
